Artist: Peter Munro

A delightful oil on board showing a working spaniel swimming with a duck. Signed lower right and dated 1996 by the renowned Scottish wildlife and sporting artist Peter Munro. Born and educated in Scotland, Peter Munro completed an Honours Degree at the Chelsea School of Art. Painting from his base in northern Scotland, Peter Munro has concentrated on the stunning wildlife art and sporting landscapes which have made his name around the world. Munro was born in 1954 and he grew up in the Scottish Highlands, where his family ran a timber and forestry company. Peter completed an honours degree at the Chelsea School of Art in London but became disillusioned with the art world and decided to return to Scotland to work in the family business, although Peter Munro continued to paint on an amateur basis. However, during a visit to Canada in 1985, he was inspired both by the remarkable work of the renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and by the powerful, remote and raw Canadian landscapes to return more permanently to the easel and so Peter Munro took up painting as a full-time career in 1987. Concentrating initially upon wildlife work but later upon landscapes and, increasingly, on the beautiful golf courses of the United Kingdom and Eire, the demand for Peter Munro’s work continued to increase.Particularly well-known in America, where Peter and his work have been profiled in leading magazines, Peter Munro has now exhibited at prestigious galleries in Holland, London, America, Canada and throughout the world.
